may I ask where you family lives in FL? And which school district your wife teaches in in NY? My child goes to an OCPS school and my family in Buffalo who sends there kids to Canisius and St Joes has no more opportunity than my children. 

my family in florida lives in palm beach.  my wife is in the finger lakes region.  i guarantee that the kids who go to canisius and st joes will be far better off than most.  a good student will be a good student anywhere, but if you feel those kids are on the same level of florida public school kids are, i'm not sure what to tell you.  i'm not here to ***** on florida...i love the place, but there's no way ocps are on the same level as a jesuit school.  i'm not sure about st. joes, but i'm willing to assume  the same thing.

To be fair, you don't need to win the parent lottery to be a productive member of society. You just need someone to emulate that is a good example.

sure, but that might be even harder than finding good parents.  i agree with your point completely though.

Remember the furry thing that is actually happening in schools? Well when that went away they just pivoted to trans stuff.

It's all part of the same movement. If they can get you to believe that you can become the opposite sex, become an animal or truly believe that 2+2=5 then they can get you to believe anything at all.

 

Oh and Charlie Kirk's furry trans loving assassin says hi.

dude...your brain is mush from this nonsense.  that movement scares you to no end for some reason.  have at it champ.  be scared about the trans epidemic, and i'll be concerned with life.  so...i'm not a conspiracy guy, but was the kirk murder with a furry trans just that easy?  you did think the kimmel issue was a stunt by the dems, so work with me here.

Schools are different in OCPS then up North, while the "average* Canisius kid is going to be smarter than my high school, my top achievers will leave high school with an AA and every few years a kid with a BS. My students can take APs whenever they want vs up north where you generally have to qualify with a teacher recommendation. The opportunity here is higher of you want it, but of course we have the low students also. Canisius offers less "college level classes" than many of the high schools in OCPS have AP classes. And I will end my proselytizing with this nugget, which I know is college not high school, FSU is the "inspiration" for Van Wilder, a easy school with no ambition because of what is was back in the 90s. It is now the #7 ranked public school with UF being first. FL takes education seriously and our success by most metrics show.

my intention wasn't to turn this into a thread on education, but some of this isn't correct.  you can absolutely take AP classes in ny.  i'm not sure what you mean by need to qualify, but they don't want kids who are failing earth science to take AP bio.  otherwise any kid can take an AP course if they want.  there's no more or less availability.  and canisius offers less, "college level classes"...what?  you do realize canisius is a college prep school?  all jesuit high schools are.  i went to the jesuit school in rochester, and we absolutely had AP classes.  It's in no way an apples to apples comparison.  those schools have far different expectations from their students.  if you're a pain in the ass or don't do your work...you're gone.  the work load alone is easily double to triple our local public schools.  that being said, those schools aren't for everyone, but to say the offer less college level classes is insane and wrong.

As a proud St. Joes alum, I’d take it over any of the WNY schools. Slight bias, of course.

of course!  my son will go to the same high school i went to as well depending how life works out.  i'm all about treating school like a job.

I never said you couldn't take AP classes, I simply said teachers can restrict it. A long time ago I was not allowed to take AP Calculus because the teacher said I was too lazy, which was arguable, but I also scored top 5 in my school on the final. Her words took away my ability to take Calc in High school, not my mathematical ability. But speaking of just AP classes, Canisius offers 13, Winter Park(which is not my school but kinda similar) offers 28 on campus and even more virtually and off campus. that does not mention the IB schools or AICE programs for theore dedicated students. I appreciate McQuaid is a great school, i know at least dozen guys who went there in the mid 90s But the world has changed drastically since then.

i think in general the norther schools just tend to be better than the southern schools.  we have better resources because we pay for it.  i just got notice that they're going to reasses our property next year, and i'm waiting to get bent over.
